house cleaning

I am so happy that I hired Hire a maid. I have a large home. Although I had tried to maintain it myself, I realized one morning that I had been extremely unsuccessful and my home was in serious need of professional cleaning. After exchanges of communication with a number of service providers with high homestars ratings, I chose Hire a Maid. I spoke with Tammy who was extremely helpful. On the scheduled day at exactly the scheduled time Kelly Marina and Remi showed up. They worked all day non-stop (except for a short lunch break).
My kitchen cabinets and counters look like new - (they are actually 22 years old). My bathrooms are sparkling. Although expensive, it was worth every penny. I will continue to use Hire a maid on a bi-weeky basis

House cleaning

Hire A Maid just completed their first housecleaning service on my home, and I was so pleased!.....high attention to detail, and amazing customer service (extra points for the supervisor dashing over to help calm down my dog who was a bit anxious with the new visitors). I was super impressed with their willingness to accommodate my schedule and preferences, and my home was in terrific shape. I highly recommend!

Cleaning

The team that come to clean bi-weekly is always friendly, professional and thorough! Tammy is also great in accommodating the occasional reschedule.

So glad we made the decision to use Hire A Maid so we have more of our weekend back. We also appreciate that they leave us a note if they notice a house issues, such as a loose tile or caulking that need attention.

House cleaning

The women who came were very friendly-- especially with my dog! It was so nice that I didn't have to provide cleaning supplies and there was no cleaning of rags, etc after they left.

complete home cleaning

I have used this cleaning company ( hireamaid) for approximately 4 months during my pregnancy  and recovery.  My husband did the research and we decided to follow through with them.  
Their service has amazingly exceeded my expectations. Their staff was on time, very professional, courteous, respectful and most of all hardworking.  They always got the job done and always willing to do the extra cleaning once they had the extra time,without any hesitation. Their price was amazing, their manager was willing to revisit the price estimate after the first few cleaning as we had initially  overestimated this without any hesitation(this is worth mentioning) if we had any changes to the schedule they had always accommodated us. I am much better now and capable of cleaning myself. However if I ever need a cleaning company again I would definitely seek their services again. I would recommend you seek their company first if you are looking for an exceptional cleaning company bundled together with an affordable price without any hidden fees.  Their staff is the most important asset of their company as they delivered the best cleaning service at each visit. From my entire family, I do wish to thank them for all their hard work. It's rare to find employees like them. Thank you :from the Hosein Family

Home cleaning service

Thank you so much for the work your team did for me today. Such lovely women.

I was so embarrassed about the state of my house. They made me understand that it was OK that it got beyond me, and they were here to make it better. Indeed, I had said to them, out of dirt-shame, don't worry about the shelves in the kitchen, don't do them. And of course, they followed this instruction. Part way through the morning, I bumbled into the kitchen to find one of your lovely young women carefully cleaning my spice jars. Now, these jars are open to the kitchen, therefore greasy, are @90 years old, belonged to my grandmother and mother before me. This kind person was carefully cleaning each jar, ridges included, and I asked her, 'Doesn't this fiddly stuff bug you?' And she replied, astonished that I would ask , 'No, not at all. We will make your kitchen sparkle.'

And sparkle it does. And my floors are clean. And the basement bathroom begins to look normal.

I will not hesitate again to ask them to clean my kitchen shelves. Their work is exemplary, but more than that, they did not in any way leave me feeling inadequate. In fact, I am energized and resolved to do better on the things that I can do.

I look forward to their next appointment two weeks along. Again, my thanks.

Post renovation cleanup

Hire a Maid staff were courteous, had an estimate in our hands within days (which was accurate when it came time to pay), and the cleanup they did was phenomenal.

We were so pleased with their work that we have decided to hire them for regularly scheduled cleanings.

Home cleaning

Setting up the first cleaning was easy and the service was excellent. Carol personally met with me at home to provide a quote and discuss the work to be done.

When I came home today I was thrilled to see the condition of the house. Carol's team did a fantastic job. Thanks so much!

House Cleaning

My wife and I have been very pleased with the monthly service that Hireamaid has provided. They come on time, are respectful of our home and most importantly do a great job in cleaning our house. Their professionalism is not only something we've seen in our home but also something we've received when dealing with staff at their office. All in all they have been accommodating and truly remarkable in doing everything we've asked of them. Well worth the expense.

Our History:
Hire A Maid was founded in 2008 by Carol Dinn in Whitby, Ontario. Since its inception, Hire A Maid has performed more than 100,000 house cleanings and thousands of deep cleanings. Prior to creating Hire A Maid, Carol held the position of Director, Fixed Term Investment Products for CIBC and before this, she managed heating and cooling services and plans for Enbridge Home Services.

Carol’s 10-plus years of experience managing and launching successful products for large corporations and her own experience as a user of house cleaning services before founding Hire A Maid have given her company a leg up in the cleaning industry. Her extensive experience in managing and motivating staff, her highly organized approach and her customer service orientation have proven to be key ingredients in Hire A Maid's rapid success.

Carol is passionate about house cleaning and the difference her staff make in their clients' lives. "We're not just cleaning homes; we're freeing our clients of the countless hours spent on housework (or stressing about it!). It gives our clients more time to enjoy with family, friends or simply relaxing. And, it gives us a wonderful feeling of satisfaction knowing that we can make a big difference by giving our clients more time and less stress."

What differentiates Hire A Maid from other maid services is:

• A high level of professionalism. We’ve been told many times by clients that our office and cleaning staff are very professional. For many homeowners, entrusting their home to a house cleaner (someone they don’t know) is a big deal. At Hire A Maid, we want our clients to feel comfortable that they have chosen a company that is well-organized, customer service oriented and that will do its best to meet their needs and to protect their interests. Hire A Maid also has general liability insurance, pays into Workers’ Compensation Insurance and remits all government taxes. – Operating honestly and ethically is the foundation of our company.

• A focus on hiring and retaining excellent employees. All of our new employees undergo a comprehensive training program that is followed up with ongoing support to provide them the knowledge and skills to be effective at their jobs. We strive for high employee satisfaction and believe that this leads to a culture where our staff go the extra mile for our clients. Our excellent employee retention record also allows us to provide our clients with the consistency of having the same maids every visit.

• Performing “the details” on every cleaning truly is Hire A Maid’s specialty.

• We actively seek out your feedback and we guarantee our work. We want you to be absolutely satisfied with our work and we invite you to complete our quality feedback survey after every visit to tell us how we’re doing. If there is ever anything you want done differently to better ensure your satisfaction, please don’t hesitate to let us know! We value your feedback and will promptly address any concerns.

• Hire A Maid believes in giving back to the community and since 2008, has donated over $20,000 in cleanings to people undergoing cancer treatment to help them focus on their recovery while we take care of their home cleaning.
